Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
How to read 100 books this year
It made me 
"It was a blast!"
How I did it: I love reading and although I doubt I ever read 100 again (on purpose) in a year's time I enjoyed every minute of this achieving this goal. I am on Shelfari and GoodReads and really gained support from my online friends for this project. They were able to steer me toward books I enjoyed through their reviews and the discussion posts. I also read some of these books as group reads or buddy reads with my online friends. It really helps to have someone that is interested in reading as much as you are to spur you on. I also used my local libraries to check out books and to borrow books through the interlibrary loan program. If I couldn't get the book through the library fast enough or if it was a book I wasn't in a hurry to read I swapped for it on Book Mooch.
Lessons & tips: I didn't do a great job tracking my books here but I did a great job on Shelfari so I was able to go back and fill in the missing. It's good to record the book as having been read as soon as possible after reading it. I've also learned to review the book soon after reading it so that when I go back over the list I can refresh my memory. When you read this many books, some of them fade together especially if the story line has similarities.

I made up for the short month in May with a very long month in June.
I know I read many of the Hardy Boys books when I was 10 or so but I can’t say I’m a real fan now.
James White’s Sector General stories and novels are awesome and I’m enjoying re-reading them after 15+ years.
I started the Charlaine Harris vampire books when I decided to watch HBO’s True Blood. So far, the books are better than the show.
